A Sewing Studio Giveaway and an Announcement!!!!

As some of you may (or may not) know that we are the ladies behind Project Run and Play.  But it hasn't always been that way.

We competed in Season 2 and loved every second of it---the themes, the sewing, and the other women in the competition.  Back then there were no prizes---it was just sewing for the love of sewing.  And love it we did.  For us it was sewing heaven.  So when we had the chance to purchase Project Run and Play we jumped at it and have been having a wonderful time over there making changes, starting a sew along group, and adding prizes ever since.  To have a dedicated place devoted only to sewing children's clothing is awesome.

But almost from the beginning we knew that Project Run and Play would need a sister site.
Behind the scenes Elizabeth and I always have more sewing going on than just children's clothing...although we rarely share it. Sure, we give you sneak peeks of our sewing every now and then but we've kept it pretty much wraps until now.  Today we are officially launching Project Sewn.  A site dedicated only to sewing women's clothing!!!

And because of that launch we want to do a HUGE giveaway!!!!


See how huge?

One lucky person is going to win almost everything they need for an entire sewing studio.  (You supply the table and we have most of the rest of the things you will need to start making beautiful things!)  The retail value of the prizes is well-over $650 dollars--seriously great stuff!!!!

The winner will receive:

*A SINGER One Sewing Machine
* 50 Spools of Coats and Clark Thread
*One fat quarter bundle from Riley Blake Designs
* An Olfa rotary cutter and cutting mat
*And a SINGER dress form


The winner of this contest must have a US or Canadian mailing address to enter (you can apply if you are international if you know someone that will pay to mail it to you.)

You MUST enter the contest through Rafflecopter below  (if you are leaving a comment about the post to enter---it still has to be done in Rafflecopter.)The giveaway will run until Wednesday, May 8th at 11:59 p.m. (MST).

Good luck everyone!!!!

      Duh. Left this comment before looking at the terms for entry, so came back and deleted this so I could properly answer the question. So... my favorite sewing tool is my walking foot. It's integrated in my machine so it's engaged about 99% of the time without my realizing it. Until I disengage it and notice the difference.

  62. I think my favorite tool is my sewing basket. My Grandma gave it to me when I turned 16. It's not that big, but I'll never get rid of it. After that, my tape measure and yardstick, then the rolls of brown packing paper from $Tree. Perfect for making patterns.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Oh my gosh! This would just blow my mind to win. All my neighbors would know something had happened because they would see me dancing up and down the street, lol.

    My fav tool? Hmmm, that's tough. Probably a pen. It's not really a sewing tool but I draw on my fabric sometimes to know where I'm going to cut. It also gives me the ability to draw my designs on paper which can help me visualize what shapes to cut out of my fabric. :-)
